ENPP1 is an innate immune checkpoint of the anticancer cGAMP-STING pathway

ABSTRACT: ENPP1 expression correlates with poor prognosis in many cancers, and we previously discovered that ENPP1 is the dominant hydrolase of extracellular cGAMP: a cancer-cell-produced immunotransmitter that activates the anticancer STING pathway. However, ENPP1 has other catalytic activities and the molecular and cellular mechanisms contributing to its tumorigenic effects remain unclear. Here, using single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq), we show that ENPP1 overexpression drives primary tumor growth and metastasis by synergistically dampening extracellular cGAMP-STING mediated antitumoral immunity and activating immunosuppressive extracellular adenosine (eADO) signaling. In addition to cancer cells, stromal and immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) also express ENPP1 which functions as a gate keeper to block cGAMP sensing in these cells. Enpp1 knockout in both cancer cells and normal tissues slowed primary tumor growth and prevented metastasis in an extracellular cGAMP- and STING-dependent manner. Lastly, an ENPP1 knock-in mutation that selectively abolishes ENPP1’s cGAMP hydrolysis activity phenocopied total ENPP1 knockout, demonstrating that restoration of paracrine cGAMP-STING signaling is the dominant anti-cancer mechanism of ENPP1 inhibition. In summary, selectively blocking ENPP1’s cGAMP hydrolysis activity is a promising therapeutic approach for treating cancer.

A novel small molecule Enpp1 inhibitor improves tumor control following radiation therapy by targeting stromal Enpp1 expression

Project description:Through variation in the cancer cell and their immune infiltrates each tumor represents a unique problem, but therapeutic targets can be found in the shared features. Radiation therapy can change the interaction between the cancer cells and the stroma through release of innate adjuvants including the STING agonist cGAMP. Enpp1 is a phosphodiesterase that can be expressed by cancer cells and can degrade cGAMP. Enpp1 can therefore limit innate adjuvant availability following radiation therapy. We observed that many cancer cells lack Enpp1 expression, but that Enpp1 expression is retained in cells of the tumor stroma and this expression in the tumor stroma limits tumor control by radiation therapy. We demonstrate the efficacy of a novel Enpp1 inhibitor and show that this inhibitor improves tumor control by radiation even where the cancer cells lack Enpp1. We show that the mechanism requires STING and type I IFN receptor expression by non-cancer cells, and is dependent on CD8 T cells as a final effector mechanism of tumor control. This suggests that Enpp1 inhibition may be an effective partner for radiation therapy regardless of whether cancer cells express Enpp1, and identifies a novel therapeutic Enpp1 inhibitor suitable for combination therapies in immuno-oncology.

Viruses antagonise expression and function of cGAMP transporters, channels and pores

Project description:DNA sensing is a fundamental process in the immune system, including host defence against viruses. The DNA sensor cGAS synthesises 2’3’ cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP), a second messenger that activates STING, which subsequently induces innate immunity. cGAMP not only activates STING in the cell where it is produced but also transfers to other cells. Transporters, channels and pores including SLC19A1, the SLC46A family, P2X7, ABCC1 and volume-regulated anion channels (VRACs) release cGAMP into the extracellular space and/or import cGAMP into cells. Emerging evidence suggests these proteins are important in antiviral immunity. Here, we investigated whether viruses antagonise cGAMP transporters, channels and pores. We report that infection with multiple human viruses depleted cGAMP conduits from cells. This included herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) that targeted the VRAC subunits LRRC8A and LRRC8C, as well as SLC46A2 and P2X7, for degradation. The HSV-1 protein UL56 was required and sufficient for these effects that were mediated at least partially by proteasomal turnover. UL56 thereby inhibited the cGAMP uptake via VRAC, SLC46A2 and P2X7. Taken together, we show that HSV-1 actively antagonises cGAMP transfer across the plasma membrane and propose this limits innate immunity by reducing cell-to-cell communication via the immunotransmitter cGAMP.

2’3’-cGAMP binds and activates Rab18 to promote cell migration

Project description:Cyclic dinucleotides serve as bacterial secondary messengers regulating sporulation, motility, biofilm formation and virulence. A nonsymmetric c-di-GAMP is firstly identified in bacteria to promote colonization, while mammalian 2’3’-cGAMP is synthesized by cGAS through binding and activating STING to trigger innate immune activation. However, pathophysiological function of 2’3’-cGAMP beyond innate immunity remains elusive. Here, we report 2’3’-cGAMP facilitates cell migration independent of STING and its innate immune function. 2’3’-cGAMP interactome analysis with a targeted shRNA-screen identifies the GTPase Rab18 as a direct 2’3’-cGAMP binding partner and effector in cell migration control. Mechanistically, 2’3’-cGAMP binds Rab18-S17, E36 and R92 residues to facilitate Rab18 activation and subsequently promotes FosB transcription in promoting cell migration. Low-dose doxorubicin induces 2’3’-cGAMP synthesis and facilitates cell migration in vitro and in vivo. Interestingly, lovastatin induces Rab18 phosphorylation abolishes 2’3’-cGAMP recognition to antagonize 2’3’-cGAMP induced cell migration. Together, our study reveals a novel 2’3’-cGAMP function in cell migration control beyond innate immunity via binding Rab18 that provides new insights into clinical applications of 2’3’-cGAMP.

RNAseq of 2'3' cGAMP injected Drosophila melanogaster

Project description:We recently reported that an orthologue of STING regulates infection by picorna-like viruses in drosophila. Here, we show that injection of flies with 2’3’-cGAMP can induce expression of dSTING-regulated genes. Analysis of the transcriptome of 2’3’-cGAMP injected flies reveals a complex pattern of response, with early and late induced genes. Our results reveal that dSTING regulates an NF-κB -dependent antiviral program, which predates the emergence of Interferon Regulatory Factors and interferons in vertebrates.

Differential gene regulation downstream of murine Tmem173 variants

Project description:We report positional cloning and characterization of a novel Sting allele that fails to activate IFN production in the wild-derived mice of MOLF/Ei strain in response to HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) and Listeria monocytogenes both in vitro and in vivo. We show that previously uncharacterized mutations in the N-terminal of STING are responsible for low levels of IFN due to failure of MOLF STING to respond to cytosolic STING agonists such as 2â3âcGAMP, 5,6-Dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA) or poly(deoxyadenylic-deoxythymidylic) acid (dAdT). Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) for the analysis of DNA-responses in congenic C57BL6.StingMOLF/MOLF (MOLF STING) mouse macrophages, we show that these mutations in MOLF/Ei discriminate in responses between different STING agonists. Macrophages from C57BL6.StingB6/B6Â¬ (B6 STING), or B6 STING expressing littermates were stimulated as a positive control for STING activation, and STING -/- (STING KO) macrophages served as a negative control. To examine differential gene regulation downstream of murine Tmem173 (STING) allelic variants. We stimulated macrophages from B6 mice congenic for MOLF STING; macrophages from B6 STING expressing littermates were stimulated as a positive control for STING activation, and STING -/- (STING KO) macrophages served as a negative control. One replicate of RNA-seq reads after each stimulation provided. Conditions are peritoneal macrophages from B6 congenic mice expressing: B6 STING, MOLF STING, or STING KO stimulated with 2â3âcGAMP, 5,6-Dimethylxanthenone-4-acetic acid (DMXAA), poly(deoxyadenylic-deoxythymidylic) acid (dAdT), or no treatment. This constitutes a total of 12 reads analyzed in this data set.

STING mediates immune responses in a unicellular choanoflagellate

Project description:To reconstruct the ancestry of animal innate immunity, we have developed the choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis, one of the closest living relatives of animals, as a model for studying mechanisms underlying pathogen recognition and immune response. We found that M. brevicollis is killed by exposure to Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria and selectively avoids ingesting them. Moreover, M. brevicollis expresses STING, which, in animals, activates innate immune pathways in response to cyclic dinucleotides during pathogen sensing. M. brevicollis STING increases the susceptibility of M. brevicollis to P. aeruginosa-induced cell death and is required for responding to the cyclic dinucleotide 2’3’ cGAMP. Furthermore, similar to animals, autophagic signaling in M. brevicollis is induced by 2’3’ cGAMP in a STING-dependent manner.

Intercellular cGAMP transmission induces innate immune activation and tissue inflammation in Trex1 deficiency

Project description:Intercellular transmission of the second messenger 2′,3′‐cGAMP, synthesized by the viral DNA sensor cGAMP synthase (cGAS), is a potent mode of bystander activation during host defense. However, whether this mechanism also contributes to cGAS-dependent autoimmunity remains unknown. Here, using a murine bone marrow transplantation strategy, we demonstrate that, in Trex1-/--associated autoimmunity, cGAMP shuttling from radioresistant to immune cells induces NF-κB activation, interferon regulatory protein 3 (IRF3) phosphorylation and subsequent interferon signaling. cGAMP travel prevented myeloid cell and lymphocyte death, promoting their accumulation in secondary lymphoid tissue. Nonetheless, it did not stimulate B cell differentiation into autoantibody-producing plasmablasts or aberrant T cell priming in the steady state. Although cGAMP-mediated bystander activation did not induce spontaneous organ disease, it did trigger interface dermatitis after UV light exposure, similar to cutaneous lupus erythematosus. These findings reveal that, in Trex1-deficiency, intercellular cGAMP transfer propagates cGAS signaling and, under conducive conditions, causes tissue inflammation.

Universal STING Mimic Boosts Antitumour Immunity via Preferential Activation of Tumour Control Signalling Pathways

Project description:The efficacy of stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonists is compromised by various factors, primarily inefficient intracellular delivery, low/lack of endogenous STING expression in many tumours and a complex balance between tumour control and progression. Here, we report a universal STING mimic (uniSTING) based on a polymeric architecture. The uniSTING activates STING signalling in a range of mouse and human cell types, independent of endogenous STING expression, and selectively stimulates tumour control IRF3/IFN-I pathways, but not tumour progression NF-κB pathways. Intratumoural or systemic injection of uniSTING-mRNA via lipid nanoparticles (LNP) results in potent anti-tumour efficacy across established and advanced metastatic tumour models, including triple negative breast cancer, lung cancer, melanoma and orthotopic/metastatic liver malignancies. Furthermore, uniSTING displays an effective antitumour response superior to 2’3’-cGAMP and ADU-S100. By favouring IRF3/IFN-I activity over the pro-inflammatory NF-κB signalling pathway, uniSTING promotes dendritic cell maturation and antigen specific CD8+ T cell responses. Extracellular vesicles released from uniSTING-treated tumour cells further sensitise dendritic cells via exosome containing miRNAs that reduced the immunosuppressive Wnt2b and a combination of LNP-uniSTING-mRNA with α-Wnt2b antibodies synergistically inhibit tumour growth and prolong animal survival. Collectively, these results demonstrate the LNP-mediated delivery of uniSTING-mRNA as a strategy to overcome the current STING therapeutic barriers, particularly for the treatment of multiple cancer types in which STING is downregulated or absent.
